In the midst of the battle, Golden Scorpion and Nick fought for more than thirty rounds. Just when they were fighting heartily, the golden scorpion took advantage of the moment when it was staggered with Nick's body, and suddenly took it back.

Nick immediately felt something flying from behind him.

He jerked his head away, only to see a ball of green smoke smashing down on his head. He hurriedly swung his knife to dial it, and the moment he hit the ground, the poisonous smoke instantly enveloped the surroundings. Nick hurriedly held his breath and retreated, but he still accidentally inhaled a little, and immediately felt some numbness in his hands and feet.

"Scorpion tail nails?" Nick looked at the Golden Scorpion in horror, "You didn't show mercy. ”

The golden scorpion sneered, "What's there to be merciful for someone like you? Even the hidden weapon was used, and the golden scorpion no longer kept his hand, shook his poisonous long whip, and slammed it into Nick's face.

His whip was long and fierce, one semicircle on the left and one semicircle on the right, and although Nick's saber was fierce, it was only a short weapon after all, and it was very difficult to parry. Coupled with the accidental inhalation of a mouthful of poisonous mist just now, Nick gradually felt a little overwhelmed.

Just when the golden scorpion felt that the victory was in hand, a silver spear had already been killed. "Iron King Eight, take it!" Lydia screamed, and the spear in her hand shook out a flood of spear sparks, like a shining cloud pressing down on the head of the golden scorpion.

People always say that Lydia, the "princess of guns", is fast, ruthless, and has a poisonous mouth, in fact, although Lydia is a superb horseman, she is not the fastest rider; There is nothing wrong with marksmanship to beat an ordinary martial artist, but it is only the level of a country; But when it comes to poison in the mouth, she is undoubtedly the king.

As far as scolding is concerned, she can scold directly and scold against her. can scold at length, from day to night, from the eighteenth generation of his ancestors to a hundred years after his death; It can also be a short and capable scolding, focusing on a sentence to death.

Just like the sentence "Iron King Eight" just now, in just a few words, the characteristics of the golden scorpion, iron scale armor, short stature, and conservative behavior are clearly summarized.

Enraged, the golden scorpion whipped and struck Lydia.

Lydia's spear is superb, one shot is more urgent than the other, one shot is faster than the other, and the gun is pressing. The golden scorpion can only see the moves, practice and retreat.

Suddenly, the golden scorpion made a gesture in front of Lydia, turned around and pretended to run away, and pulled out a black orb from his bosom with his left hand. With a backhand move, the orb flew towards Lydia with a turquoise poisonous smoke.

"Do you think the same trick can be played so many times?" Lydia sneered, and fired a shot at it, slapping it precisely at the poison ball. With a snap, the poison ball hit a home run and flew straight towards the golden scorpion's military formation.

The Golden Scorpion was shocked, he didn't expect Lydia's blow to be so precise. As soon as she turned around, she saw Lydia throw a homemade bomb and swing it hard, and the bomb rushed across the parabola, exploding a ball of fire in the air.

"Ahhh The golden scorpion was so frightened that the ghost cried wolf, and his army was thrown into chaos. Lydia didn't hesitate, and with a stroke of her spear, the soldiers behind her rushed forward like a tidal wave.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the golden scorpion couldn't care about anything at the moment, so he ran to the castle with the alpaca. "Close! Close the door! Pull the suspension bridge! He shouted hurriedly.

The soldiers defending the city hesitated for a moment, and finally did not remind him that the castle did not have a drawbridge.

"General, General." The attendant hurriedly helped to hold his alpaca, "The city gate is closed, and it is safe." ”

"Safe?" The golden scorpion trembled and rolled over to the ground, "I don't feel any security, those guys will set foot here at any time!" ”

You know, one Nick is enough for him, and Lydia's combat power is above Nick. Look at the more than a dozen fierce generals beside her, all of them have unique skills, and their soldiers are neatly dressed and their blades are transparent, and they are by no means private soldiers hired casually.

How will this battle be fought?

"The top priority is to ask for help!" The golden scorpion forced himself to calm down, took a few breaths, and called his cronies again, "Hurry up and go to the Imperial City and find Darius for help." Otherwise, this castle won't be able to withstand ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a rumbling outside, and a large part of the city wall collapsed.

"Report!" The herald shouted, "They've set up a soul cannon outside!" ”

"What?" The golden scorpion's ass was still not stable, and it fell directly to the ground in shock.

He thought that if the other side could come up with a trebuchet, it would already be considered a big move, but he didn't want to laugh and attach great importance to this battle, and ordered to take out all the family funds and be sure to fight a big tailwind game.

As a result, all the soul cannons captured during the capture of the Iron Lady's den were brought to the front line. Lydia was quite distressed by this, and persuaded her to laugh and said: "We can't imitate this kind of shell yet, and if we hit one, we will have one less, or we can save a little and shoot half of it first?" ”

Buxiao vetoed her proposal without hesitation: If you want to do it, you have to make it big.

In this regard, Lydia can only complain that the essence of human beings is so similar. It's all tactical tricks if you're poor, and if you reach it, you'll blow it up to Lao Tzu.

The power of the soul cannon is amazing, and when it is blasted out, there is not only the earth-shattering explosion of gunpowder, but also the serial impact of soul energy. After only one round of bombardment, the outer wall of the Imperial Fort was already rickety and precarious. It looks like two more rounds of bombardment will be able to break through the castle at most.

The golden scorpion hid in the castle and watched the artillery fire outside, his face was as earthy as the color of the earth.

His subordinates hurriedly suggested: "General, run, this place can't be defended." ”

"Run?" The golden scorpion's face was filled with indescribable cruelty and viciousness, "Of course you have to run, but before you escape, there is one more important thing to do." ”

……

"Hurry up, one more round of reloading!" Veteran Bard pointed to the wall in front of him and shouted, "This round of artillery is over, it's our turn!" ”

Eggers' twin blades were already eager to try, "Ready, Captain Bard!" ”

Crohn put down the soul cannonball on his shoulder and said with a smile, "If you call him captain again, be careful that he kicks your ass." ”

Eggers snorted, "Yes, yes, yes, Battalion Commander Bard." ”

"Very motivated, Sergeant Eggers." Nacian filled the gunpowder beside him, "If only you can use dim sum during the military theory exam." ”

Eggers was just about to choke when he suddenly pointed to the castle and exclaimed, "Look what is that?" ”

Everyone's eyes converged in the direction of her finger, and they saw that a fire had burned at some point behind the castle. The firelight reflected half of the sky, and thick smoke billowed over the castle.

"What's going on? Could it be an accidental fire? Krohn asked curiously.

"No, it's not." Nacian said with confidence, "That location should be the grain and grass warehouse in the back stable, I'm afraid someone deliberately set the fire." ”

Bard frowned, "Could it be the Assassin team sent in to set it on fire?" ”

Nacian shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, behind the stables is a shanty town for the poor, and a messy market. How many innocent people will be burned to death by this fire......"

"You seem familiar with it?" Eggers asked.

Nacian almost opened his mouth to reply, "Yes, that's my castle." Thankfully, his mind was quick, and at the last minute he changed his words: "Yes, that's where I got out." ”

In a sense, there is nothing wrong with that.

The rebels of the demon clan have already approached his door, shouting that they want to see people alive and corpses to death. If it weren't for the little fat cat, who secretly carried her brother's body from the tunnel and made a substitute for the dead cat, he would have been buried somewhere in the castle by now.

"Quick! Shelling the city walls! Lydia anxiously ordered, "Break the walls now!" ”

Bud clapped his hands and hurriedly beckoned the guys to speed up, "That tin king can't beat the princess, he must know that he can't hold it, so he burned the city, so he has a chance to escape." Guys, hurry up and blast the walls, let's not let him run! ”

The fire in the castle intensified, and the entire bazaar was engulfed in flames. The innocent civilians ran out of their homes crying out to escape the catastrophe, but their homes were on fire and there was nowhere to escape. They wept bitterly, but they couldn't do anything.

And the golden scorpion stood at the entrance of the secret passage of the castle, watching this scene, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he and a few fresh figures disappeared into the darkness of the tunnel, and the entrance slowly closed with the falling rocks.

Amid the roar of artillery fire, the walls began to crumble, revealing a brutal gap as if they were the scars of war.

"Rush in!" Bard raised the banner and shouted, followed by Ex and Nacian, and Crohn raised two large wooden stakes to see what he wanted.

When they stormed the castle, there was no resistance from the defenders. All that catches eye is the raging fires and the poor who have escaped from the flames, crying out for helplessness. Their eyes were filled with deep despair, like orphans abandoned by the world.

Lydia stood on the city wall, her ears filled with the cries of the poor, and she was stunned for a moment as she looked at the devastated appearance.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Dennis and Nabino walked up to Lydia and said anxiously, "The Golden Scorpion may have fled, but certainly not far, so let's go after him." ”

"Not chasing." Lydia was in a trance for a moment, and came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Run, run." Now the order: all the troops are assembled, all efforts are made to extinguish the fire, and we must save every innocent life as much as possible. ”

Dennis and Nabino were stunned, they had only seen the army slaughtering the city, but they had never seen the army fighting the fire and saving the poor.

The order was immediately delivered, and every member of the legion sprang into action, using bottles of water, damp cloths to extinguish the fire, and all the tools at their disposal to suppress the ferocious fire.

Shields, cloaks, and spears were turned into stretchers at this moment, and the soldiers quickly moved the poor people to a safe place for treatment.

Those people living in the Prince's Fort were already desperate, but they watched the fire gradually be suppressed under the efforts of the soldiers of the Red Pavilion. Many poor people who were hiding in various places also joined the rescue team, searching for survivors in the rubble.

It wasn't until dark that the fire was finally extinguished.

The castle has been changed beyond recognition, the shanty towns of the slums have been destroyed, and countless people have been left homeless overnight, without even having enough to eat.

Lydia sighed, "Is there still a place to live in the castle?" ”

Bard had already led his troops to turn the entire castle upside down, "There are quite a few rooms, and there is a large room for the prince, which has been vacated for the princess." ”

"I don't need those." Lydia shook her hand, "Let the poor people live in it temporarily." ”
